Abstract

See full text

A space transformer made up of a primary structure that is fabricated from semiconductor body for retaining beam probes used for contacting the pads of a circuit or device under test. The primary structure is part of the space transformer and has vias that hold the beam probes, and a ceramic support structure to provide sufficient stiffness before bonding it to a secondary structure of the space transformer. The fabrication of the primary structure and its embedding within the secondary structure is performed in a manner analogous to the fabrication of circuit chips and its embedding within the packaging. As a result, down scaling in chip fabrication can be correspondingly applied to the fabrication of space transformers.
